Well dearest Kathy, yes you are missed so very much in so many instances. I think of you. I remember you. Our fun. Our 'debates'. Your ultimate wisdom. No mere passage of time will ever erase your importance to us. In the Light.

Hi kathylanier. I think of you almost everyday, still. I have developed a bone disease and have been in wheelchair for almost two years. A dozen operations on broken and disintegrating bones has brought no relief. At one point I thought I would lose my mind with grief and fear. You came to me in a dream and told me that growing up means giving back. I'm on medical leave from school and volunteer with elderly now full time. Just being with people who have been dumped in nursing homes, waiting to die. In our own way we find joy. So thank for forcing me to grow up once again, even from the other side, I know you are with me, I feel it, but I deeply miss talking to you in real life.

I still pick up the phone to call you. I still recall you perfectly from when
we were mere striplings, when we lived in the co-ops in Berkeley,
when Lorene was born, when you came to visit in a VW bus. Judi
was a truly wonderful surprise, a perfect person for you at last.
It's been four years and I'm finally writing without having to stop
and weep. love you always, Rene

The first time I met Kathy and Judy was a bbq that Jason and Dara had several years ago. Kathy and I laughed about raising children and the curve balls that fly while doing so..her patience and insightful thoughts on how to get through the tough times gave me peace in knowing in the end all would work out. She will be missed greatly even by those she only touched breifly!

I'm so sorry that Kathy is gone. I had a very nice conversation with her last month. She agreed to look at facebook and I agreed to look at paying bills online. I thought we would see her last month but it was not to be. Prayers for Judi, Lorene and Jason.

I haven't seen Kathy very often since our children grew up and left home. I have thought of her through the years and always remembered how cheerful she always seemed. I know that you will all miss her and hope that happy memories will sustain you.

I have lost a treasured friend. Kathy and I met in the early 70's and shared many adventures and a lasting friendship. Kathy touched my life in so many ways. I will always cherish those memories, Last July, I spent a lovely day with Kathy, Judi and some of our grandchildren. Kathy seemed so happy and well. My thoughts are with Judi, Lorene, and Jason. We have lost a unique,wonderful person.

Judy and Kathy were such a great team. Respectful to each other and always working side by side. I had the pleasure of meeting them at Richmark during their many projects. I enjoyed the relationship and obvious caring they shared. My sympathy to Judy and all the family.

Dear Kathy,
You gave guilt no moral privileged position, nor did you see any value in pain. But what would you do with grief?
Grief born of love and care and friendship, and deep sympathy for Judi, Lorene, Jason, your family, your world of friends, a universe without you -- though through you richer, better, and in promise, hopeful.

I have thought about Kathy many, many times in the past twenty years or so. She worked with my son and me while he was attending Fairmount Children's Center. I was a single parent at the time and many times my visits with her involved speaking about my older son. Her words were always very comforting. I will never forget Kathy Lanier. May God Bless her.

Kathy was a true inspiration to me. Without her and Judy I would not own a beautiful new house. She was tireless in her effort to help me finish my Habitat House. I think of her often when I am relaxing on my porch with my son and dog. She was a blessing to us.

We have fond rememberances of Kathy at May Memorial and Unirondack. She was an amazing organizer. Our thoughts are with Judy, Lorene, Jason and the rest of your family. Char and Mike Kirchoff, Loudon, TN.

Judy and family, What a shock to read of Kathy's death ; taken much too early.
Although our paths crossed less in these last few years, my memories date to the 60s at MMUS and the house on Edgehill.
Kathy led a varied life and brought joy to her family, friends and community. She will be celebrated and missed by many.
My thoughts are with you.

This last year Kathy had become a constant in my life always pushing me forward in her positive supportive manner. I was already missing her thinking it strange that she had not yet made contact from California. Think of her when you pass the Salt Springs Cemetery a physical monument to her work in the community.

I met Kathy at UC Berkeley when we were both freshmen, 52 years ago. The connection remained through thick and thin. Watching her giving behavior to all, I admired her strength, intelligence, problem solving capabilities and organizational skills. I am grateful that she has been a forever friend and influenced me greatly. Marilyn Clark in Lincoln, CA

I am glad that Kathy touched my life. She was a warm, refined and caring person.
It was all reflected in her contributions to life and to those she helped when they needed her. She will be missed and never forgotten
